Mad Cow USA:Could the Nightmare Happen Here?

On May 12, 1997, ABC World News Tonight reported that "people may not be
contracting Alzheimer's as often as we think. The bad news is that they may be getting something worse instead.
. . . This is about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. It is fatal. It destroys your brain, and what is worse, it is infectious."

In England, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) has already become a household word because of its association with
that country's epidemic of mad cow disease. In 1996, the news that young people were dying from eating infected
beef shook England and all of Europe.

Rampton and Stauber, authors of the critically-acclaimed Toxic Sludge Is Good for You: Lies Damn Lies and the Public
Relations Industry, reveal how mad cow disease has emerged as a result of modern, intensive farming practices whose
true risks are kept hidden by government and industry denials.OUT OF STOCK* * * Order

WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING

"In a first-rate piece of investigative journalism,
Rampton and Stauber piece together the best
synthesis of the problem I've seen. Mad Cow
U.S.A. is an important book. And it reads like a
detective story."
--Timothy B. McCall, M.D., author of Examining
Your Doctor: A Patient's Guide to Avoiding
Harmful Medical Care
"A timely, urgent warning about the deadly
consequences of factory farming. Let's hope it's
not too late."
--John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America
and Reclaiming Our Health

"It's not just cows that are mad--so are our
so-called 'consumer protectors.' You'll be mad
as hell too after reading this dynamite book."
--Jim Hightower, radio talk show host and author of
There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but
Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos.

""It can happen here! Rampton and Stauber have
provided real 'food for thought' in this chilling,
revealing book about what really goes on behind
the scenes in the meat industry. Every American
family ought to read this book."
--Jeremy Rifkin, author of Beyond Beef: The Rise
and Fall of the Cattle Culture
"Incurable, unstoppable, threatening to big
business: that's mad cow disease, but also, luckily
for us, the wit and investigative will of Rampton
and Stauber. Whether you eat meat or just the
ground-up news fed to the public by the corporate
media, you'd have to be crazy not to read Mad
Cow U.S.A."
